I spent plenty of time online, looking for the perfect Chinese recipes. Were they authentic? I don't know. But they were oh so good.

Emeril's egg rolls - Loved that I could bake them and not fry them. I left out the meat and bean sprouts. You can find egg roll wraps in the produce section, they are usually by the tofu.

Chow mein - This was really really good. Although looking back at it now, I had to leave out/change a lot depending on what I had. I used thin spaghetti instead of Chinese noodles. And I left out the oyster sauce, pork and shrimp. Even if you don't have the specialty ingredients, it still makes a wicked good chow mein.

Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp - Has anything from Pioneer Woman let you down? I didn't think so. I might have a crush on Pastor Ryan. This was so good.

Orange Chicken - Okay, so I didn't make the orange chicken for our celebration, but we had it recently, and it was amazing.
